METHOD AND APPARATUS Fon TANsFERRING COLORS. i

Application filed September 11, 1925. Serial Nol 55,7878.

My invention relates to the method and apparatus for transferring colors.

A11 object of the invention is to provide a simple and 'efficient method and apparat-us whereby persons wishing to form their own ornamental designs, can exercise their individual artistic talent and taste in making up the design or ornament. i

The invention is illustrated in the drawings7 in Whichn Figures 1 to 5 inclusive indicate differently colored sheets of material from which various designs have been cut.

Fig. v6 is a plan view of a transfer pattern r or article made up of a plurality of differently Ashaped and colored portions which have been assembled bythe individual.

Fig.v 7 is a section taken on the line 7-7 of Fig. (i.`

Heretofore transfer patterns of various types have been` made and sold with the design printed thereon exactly the Way it was intended to be shoivn'or formed b y the manufacturer. This article as thus put out could not in any material Way be changed by an individual and therefore the designs thus sold to him by the manufacturer could only very little be altered to suit his individual taste.

In accordance With my process and by the use of my apparatus the individual can form his own designs. 'The method and apparatus in .general are follows: I provide a set of colored sheets which maybe colored j even single color a background effect 1n sevon one or both sides With material in the form of a dye or decalcomania Whichis'to be transferred. Each sheet, however is preferably coated or otherwise treated in one color. The entire set will enable the user to select any color he Wishes.

Having a given design in mind the user will cut from the various selected sheetsthe design he Wishes and then Will assemble the kvarious portions in their proper relation to form the complete design, temporarily fastening the portions together by any suitable means such as glue, until the complete pattern has been placed on a surface on to which l, the design is to be transferred and the transfer` has taken place. By providing the original main sheets of substantial size'it is able number of designs therefrom.

` method of transferring.

ceeds to cut therefrom different portions of the design as shown in these figures. These cut portions are then assembled in accordance with the design shown in Figure 6, The cut Vportions are designatedby the numerals 15 to 19 inclusive and have been cut from the various master sheets above mentioned. They are temporarily held together by glue. After having oncebeen assembled `and lfastened together they form a transfer pattern which can be employed to transfer the color thereon by means of any suitable It is obvious that the colorA 011 each sheet beneath the portion Which maylieabove it will not be transf ferred.A y y One valuable feature of this invention is that vbecause the designs are made up individually by one person it Will be practically impossible for another person to make an exact copy except With the consent or assistance of the first. Another feature is that the cutting out does not have to be done exactly, since the parts are assembledone on top of the other. Therefore there are no edges of the different y colors to meet concurrently.

It Will be understood that instead of an called colonial patchwork'on bed-spreads and other articles can be effectively initiated at a fraction of the labor involved in seaming and sewing on the patches.

I claim: y

1. A fabricated transfer design consisting of a plurality of transfer pieces cut t0 the outlines of the design and attached directly to one another by adhesive in the relation Which the component parts 'of the design are to have, the Whole forming aself-sustaining cut-out design for transfer to a surface to be decorated.

2. A method of decorating surfaces which comprises depositing on one or more sheets of suitable material on one side thereof all over the extent of the sheet a transferrable medium in one or more colors, cutting component parts of the design from such sheet or sheets i,in the outlines Which such cornponent parts are to have in the finished design, assembling the parts in the positions VWhich the same are to have in the finished' design, and attaching the parts directly 'to one another by means of an adhesive to form a self-sustaining cut-ont transfer having the outlines of the desired design, and transferring the same to the surface' t0 be decorated.
